What We're Reading - Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow

Even us Librarians are sometimes surprised to find new books by favorite authors that have snuck their way onto the shelves without advance knowledge. Last week, for me, it was discovering that we had a new Bunnicula book by James Howe! Needless to say, I was a very happy camper as I read Bunnicula meets Edgar Allan Crow. This one has all the usual elements that a fan needs with, the Monroe family hosting famed horror author M. T. Graves and his pet crow Edgar for a visit which leads to the usual entertaining mix of antics, suspicions, humor and suspense. Howie is still hyperactive, Harold is still hungry for table scraps, Chester still envisions many suspicious plots and Bunnicula still can drain the juices from vegetables with the best of them. Great fun for anyone who's enjoyed the past adventures of the gang.
